Augusta Chronicle [Augusta, Georgia], Aug 15,
1901Died at the Soldiers' HomeMr. W. T. Hays passes away
thereAtlanta, Ga., Aug 14-W. T. Hays, an aged Confederate
veteran and an inmate of the Soldiers' Home, died peacefully in his room
this morning at 4 o'clock. The old soldier was 84 years of age. He went
to the home in June and was then so feeble that he was carried on a
litter to his bed. Since that day the fires of life slowly smoldered and
finally died away, leaving him life less at daybreak this morning.
During his illness every attention was shown the gray veteran by the
inmates of the home, and an escort of his comrades will silently march
before his body to its last resting place. hays had one son, H. T. Hays,
who lives in Polk county and Judge Lowndes Calhoun wrote him that his
father was in a dying condition. The son was not able to make a trip to
Atlanta, but wrote a pathetic reply begging that his father be given a
good burial, and stating that he would meet him in heaven. hays was a
resident of Polk county, and was a veteran of the Georgie state troops.
Little is known of his history during the war, but his patience and
courage in facing death was proof that he was a true soldier. This
afternoon at 2 o'clock the funeral services were conducted at the
Soldiers' Home by Rev. T. P. Cleveland, and at 4 o'clock the interment
took place at Westview cemetery. The remains will be buried on the plat
owned by Atlanta, Camp 159, United Confederate Veterans. An escort of
veterans from the home will attend.

MARSHALL,
Dr. ED Rome - On Feb. 8
one of the most tragic suicides took place in Cedartown last Monday that
ever occurred in this section of the country. Dr. Ed Marshall, a son of
Dr. E. B. Marshall of Rome, killed himself with a pistol, and the
remains were brought here and buried this
afternoon. A sad story is related in
connection with the affair. Not long ago the young doctor fell
desperately in love with a young lady in Arkansas and was married to her
very soon after the Introduction. They lived together for a few months
in much happiness. The young husband loved his bride with all the
devotion of his true nature, but his young wife began to give his
attention to another man, and so an elopement followed. This almost
crazed Dr. Marshall, and to drown his sorrow. he sought relief in
opiates, and thus his young life was wrecked. It is Indeed a deplorable
affair. There was no young man in this
section of the state more highly thought of, and he had already attained
considerable success in his profession. He was the heart's delight of
his good mother, and a great pride to his noble father. The two are
grief-stricken. They seemed crushed to
earth. The body was laid to rest at Myrtle
Hill and the pall-bearers, close friends of the family, were Joe Glover,
J. N. Harrison, W H. Wright, Dr. W. H. Shaw, Bernard Hale and Wright
